So while Monica and I were in NY City Saturday, we walked past the Sony buildings and there was a bit of a crowd there protesting. We had no idea why — but we knew it was anti-Sony and pro Michael Jackson. I immediately knew I didn’t support what was going down, but wasn’t sure what exactly was going down.

So it turns out Jackson has pulled the race card cause his album sales sucked. Jackson said that the record companies exploit minority recording artists. Well of course they do! The record companies exploit every recording artist they’ve signed.

I’ve only heard the one song, but I don’t think the newest Jackson album flopped cause of lack of promotion (which had $25 million in promotion BTW). It was because of the material on the album being crap. Plus, Jackson’s personal life over the past few years have turned a lot of people off to him anyway, even if he were able to produce another Thriller-caliber album, which isn’t gonna happen.

Jackson’s washed up. That’s all there is to it.
